A revealing personal portrait of a little-known country perched on the eastern edge of Europe - captured by one of its most eloquent and engaging expats.
Born in Sofia, Kapka Kassabova grew up under the last years of Cold War Communism in the 1980s, emigrated after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and has loved and hated her homeland in equal measure ever since. Thirty years later, as Bulgaria was joining the EU club, Kapka revisited the country of her childhood and her own relationship to it to discover just how much it - and she - had changed. With the irreverence of an expat, the curiosity of a visitor, and the soul of a poet, Kassabova brings to life the past and present of Bulgaria, as well as probing the complicated connection between place and mind, between geography and fate.

KAPKA KASSABOVA was born in Bulgaria in 1973 and learned to speak English at the age of 16 when her parents emigrated to England and then New Zealand. She now lives in Edinburgh, and is the author of two novels, four poetry collections (the latest, Geography for the Lost, published by Bloodaxe in April 2007) and a couple of travel guides.
